I read a lot of war books and watch a lot of war movies. This movie, since it had a possibly great story, missed a great opportunity to tell it. The action was limited, and they missed bonding between the two men. There was so much more to story that was missed. More background on both Jesse Brown and Thomas Hudner would have filled in the holes but it didn't. There definitely could have been more background on Hudner, since he won the Congressional Medal of Honor trying to save Brown. I'm glad I went to the movie, but it's one I don't feel that I need to see again. The visual effects were great, just needed more added to the story.
